Explorers - Wine Subscription Club

The Wines Direct Explorers Club is Ireland's leading wine subscription — monthly deliveries curated by a team who travel to meet winemakers face-to-face across 13 countries.

Since 1991, Wines Direct has built direct relationships with independent, family-run producers across France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and beyond. Over 35 years, we have got to know the families behind the bottles — in many cases, we worked with the parents and now work with their children. The Explorers Club is where those relationships come to life. Each month our team selects a handful of bottles that reflect what is exceptional right now — wines with real provenance, real producers, and real stories behind them.

This is not a volume subscription pulling from a warehouse catalogue. Every wine in an Explorers Club delivery has been chosen personally — tasted at the estate, selected for its character, and imported directly by us. Many of these bottles are not available anywhere else in Ireland.

Whether you are just starting to explore wine or you have been collecting for years, there is a tier built around your appetite. Each delivery comes with tasting notes, producer backgrounds, and food pairing suggestions — so you do not just drink the wine, you understand it.

Four tiers available: Wine Curious (3 bottles, €65/month), Wine Adventurous (6 bottles, €99/month), Wine Confident (6 bottles, €120/month), and Wine Obsessed (6 bottles, €160/month). Choose red, white, or mixed. Free delivery included across ROI and Northern Ireland.

More about the Explorers Club

How does the Explorers Club work?

Once you sign up, you receive a curated selection of wine every month chosen by our team. Each delivery includes tasting notes, producer stories, and food pairing suggestions. You choose your tier — 3 or 6 bottles — and whether you prefer red, white, or mixed.

Who chooses the wines?

Our team does. We have spent over 35 years building direct relationships with independent winemakers across 13 countries — in many cases, we worked with the parents and now work with their children. Every bottle in an Explorers Club delivery has been tasted and selected personally, not pulled from a distributor catalogue.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Yes — a minimum of two charges applies to all subscriptions. After that, you can pause, skip a month, or cancel at any time by logging in to your account, calling us on 0818 579 579, or emailing sales@winesdirect.ie.

Is delivery included?

Yes. Free delivery across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is included in every subscription tier.

Can I choose which wines I receive?

The Explorers Club is curated by our team — the discovery is part of the experience. If you would prefer to choose your own wines on a standing order, our Rewind service lets you put any wine from our range on repeat, in any quantity, every 30, 60, or 90 days.

What is a wine subscription in Ireland?

A wine subscription is a recurring delivery of wine, curated or chosen in advance, sent directly to your door. Unlike buying a single bottle, a subscription means you always have wine to hand — and with the Explorers Club, each delivery introduces you to something new from producers you would never encounter in a supermarket or off-licence.
